Chapter 41 The Demonic Eyes of Truth
"Um?"
The tiger demon's expression changed, and in an instant, it retreated several meters away, its mane standing on end, looking at Shen Lang with suspicion and uncertainty.
Shen Lang, however, was too busy to pay attention to it at the moment.
"The world I saw had turned blood red."
"This feeling... is so peculiar."
Just now, he spent 35 skill points to upgrade "Torture and Interrogation" from LV10 to LV15.
Compared to a back-and-forth exchange of blows, Shen Lang prefers to crush his opponents with absolute strength.
When facing a formidable enemy, prioritize leveling up your skills.
This is a good habit he has cultivated over a long period of time.
This time will be no exception.
However, against an opponent of the level of the Tonghui Demon, adding a few more max-level martial arts techniques would not be very meaningful.
Therefore, his original plan was to upgrade the "torture and forced confession" method, and use the characteristic of "torture" to check the physical condition of the criminal at any time, and monitor the changes in the tiger demon's aura.
Find the vulnerability and strike decisively!
But to his surprise, just like "Case Investigation", "Torture and Interrogation" also developed new characteristics after being upgraded to LV15, and there were even two of them!
One of these is the blood-red world that Shen Lang is currently experiencing.
At this moment, it was as if a blood-red net was covering his eyes.
The whole world is divided into pieces by those interwoven lines.
Everywhere the eye could see, whether inanimate objects like flowers, trees, corridors, and eaves, or living creatures like guards and stray cats, were tinged with a faint red.
Even the tiger demon not far away was no exception.
Shen Lang focused his mind on one point, anchoring it on the tiger demon.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded!
He could see the tiger demon's flesh, bones, tendons, and even the demonic energy flowing within its body clearly displayed before his eyes.
The mysteries of all things are revealed before our eyes!
It's like having X-ray vision; the effect is simply incredible!
In addition, Shen Lang also discovered that when his mind was focused to the extreme, a strange phantom appeared on the right side of the tiger demon!
The phantom's size, expression, and movements were exactly the same as the tiger demon's.
The only difference is that its movements seem to be a beat faster than the tiger demon's.
Shen Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly understood.
"Is this illusory image showing the tiger demon's state a moment from now?"
Thinking of this, he was startled and suddenly became somewhat unsettled!
Doesn't this mean he can predict the tiger demon's moves, changes in its aura, and the flow of its demonic energy through its illusory appearance?!
Anticipating the enemy's moves first ensures continued speed and efficiency.
What do you have to fight me with?
This is practically cheating!
"This Demon Lord."
"I'll just open it a little, you won't mind, will you?"
Shen Lang chuckled lightly, and his aura suddenly exploded!
In an instant, the world lost its color, and the wind and clouds reversed!
The violent killing intent surrounding him actually materialized!
A crimson flame rose into the sky, flickering and dancing, encircling him in the very center!
Witnessing this astonishing scene, Pei Ci, the guards, the princess, the county princess...
Everyone present, including the wise tiger demon, had their expressions change drastically!
"This is impossible!!!"
The tiger demon's giant eyes widened instantly.
It stared at Shen Lang in disbelief, looking as if it had seen a ghost!
"How could you, a mere mortal, possess the Demonic Eyes of Truth-Seeing?!"
As if to confirm some guesses, a cold glint flashed in its huge eyes, and its massive body suddenly lunged forward!
The demonic energy poured into its right claw as if it didn't care about its life, and with a piercing sound of air being torn apart, it swung it at Shen Lang with all its might!
"Good timing!"
Shen Lang laughed loudly, retreating instead of advancing, and pressed forward!
He narrowly avoided the tiger demon's claws!
Immediately afterwards, he lowered his wrist and raised his sword, and a dazzling sword light, as brilliant as a galaxy, suddenly shone from his hand!
The next moment, the tiger demon let out a miserable cry and flew several meters through the air.
boom!!
Its massive body smashed a large hole in the wall, sending bricks and stones flying and kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the dust settled, a deep wound was visible on its chest, where it connected to its right forepaw.
The flesh was torn open, and large gushes of blood were gushing out!
However, it was completely oblivious to all of that, staring at Shen Lang in disbelief, and exclaimed in shock:
"It really is the Demonic Eye of Illusion?!"
"Broken Demonic Eyes?"
"What is that?"
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and slowly sheathed his long sword.
The new features of "Torture and Interrogation LV15" were even more useful than he had expected.
He severed the tiger demon's main tendons with a single strike, and it won't be able to cause any trouble for the next ten days or half a month.
Since that's the case, we can spare its life for now.
As one of the main culprits in the flower thief case, he should know a lot of crucial information.
Shen Lang's many doubts can probably be answered here.
But before that, there was another thing he needed to figure out.
What is the "Demon Eye of Illusion"?
Upon hearing this, the tiger demon instantly regained his composure and chuckled strangely, "Interesting, you didn't know?"
"Don't waste your energy, I won't tell you!"
The tiger demon tilted its head to the side and lay on its back, looking as if to say, "Do as you please, but I will not utter a single word."
"Don't speak too definitively. Leave yourself some room for maneuver, so you don't look too embarrassed when you beg for mercy later."
Shen Lang's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing more and turned to instruct Da Hu:
"Take some men and move it to the side courtyard. Lock it up first, and I'll interrogate it later."
"My lord, this..."
Looking at the tiger demon that was as big as a small mountain, the big tiger hesitated for a moment, and a troubled look appeared on his face.
"It has been severely injured by me and will not do evil again."
"This matter is settled. Tell the people outside that they no longer need to guard the area and call them to come and help."
Seeing that the tiger was still struggling, looking conflicted, scared, and wanting to muster his courage, Shen Lang strode towards the tiger demon.
Then, under the tiger demon's wary and suspicious gaze, he cleanly and neatly broke its four limbs.
Click, click!
Four crisp sounds.
Awooo!!
The tiger demon's pupils narrowed to slits from the pain, and it roared as its massive body trembled violently.
"You spineless scoundrel, beast, despicable wretch, utterly lacking in any semblance of strength!"
"I have been defeated by you, and I will do as you please, whether you want to kill me or torture me. Yet you have dared to humiliate me like this!"
"This is simply... an insult to civility!"
Enraged, the tiger demon roared and cursed wildly.
"Is this an insult to civility?"
"You big worm, you're quite good at using fancy words."
Shen Lang chuckled softly, "Don't make a fuss, I have no choice."
"You're so fierce, they're all afraid of you. I can't possibly carry you there myself, can I?"
The tiger demon roared, and its enormous body began to shrink. Before long, it turned back into the fat orange cat it had been before.
It bared its teeth and roared in exasperation:
"Can't you just say it directly?!"
"I can transform!!"
Shen Lang couldn't help but smile. He had been a little worried that the interrogation wouldn't go smoothly.
After all, he had killed and eaten monsters, but he had never examined them.
Now, he felt much more at ease.
Judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem like the kind of stubborn person who would rather die than submit.
